Today I am going to show you the result of my first prototype 3D printed. I used PLA filament and it took less than 40 minutes to print the base and the cap of the pendant. The pendant is 40mm wide and 12mm thick. Here's what it looks like:

As you all know that Radio Shack stores are closing, so there was this great closeout deal. Each component ranged anywhere between $0.10 to a $1.00. I took this opportunity to buy plenty of components for my Peace of Mind prototype project. From transistors, capacitors, resistors, to LEDs, push buttons, switches, and many more. I ended up buying parts that I will not use for this project but potentially for other projects in the future.

For the bracelet, I want to have a LCD Screen that writes the mood of the user. Let's say the user presses the upset or angry button, the bracelet (which tend to look like a watch) will read ANGRY!! with red LEDs flashing around the screen. This puts the caretaker in a ready situation to attend the patient.

Hello… Today I was browsing for some ideas for the pendant. If you see the image below, I would like to make the colored areas pushable. The push button switch will be located underneath the colored areas making it pushable when tapping on the colored areas.
